God is the God of all encouragement, not discouragement. So if he’s all encouragement, how much is left of discouragement? Zero. You might say, “Wait, I’m okay being depressed. It’s not that bad.” You want to defend it? You want to stay there? Why? God doesn’t want you depressed or discouraged. You may have a moment. You fight it, though.
Fight it. If you live your life in a spirit of fear, worry, anxiety, that is not of God. Beyond that, it’s of the enemy. >> He’s going to use it. It’s a stronghold. You see, in fear, you’re not conscious of God. So, you’re conscious of evil. You’re focused on what’s against you. And what’s against you is Satan, Satan, whose name means he’s against you.
So, if you live in fear, you’re you become Satan conscious. Even if you’re not calling in that, you become conscious instead of God conscience. You live in a fear, the enemy likes it. He’s got power over that. He can keep you from moving forward in your walk. He can keep you from living the life God called you to live.
He can keep you living on the defense instead of the offense that God called you. Keep you from He can keep you losing sleep at night, losing peace, getting worn down, power to stop you from rejoicing. Fear is based on on punishment or being separated from God. I’m not talking about there’s one good fear. It’s the fear of God.
That’s when you’re in God. The rest of them is the fear of something’s going to happen because I don’t have God or I’m not sure of God. You don’t want to live like that. God doesn’t want you live like that. It says God has not given us a spirit of fear >> but of power >> a sound mind. >> Sound mind. >> To live in fear is Satan conscience in the end.
If you’re in God, to live in God is to overcome fear. To be God conscious is to be not enemy conscience. God has not given. So that’s why it says fear not. If you know God, fear not. Fear not. Fear not. Why? Because if God is for me, he is stronger than anything that’s against me. >> And I got to come back to that. So you got nothing to fear.
That’s why he says, “The Lord is my shepherd. I will fear no evil. Even when it looks scary in my life, even when I’m walking through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not fear for you are with me.” How do you desatanize this this area of your life? The antidote to fear consciousness is God conscious. When you’re tempted to get all bent out of shape, wait.
Love of God. God, you’re here. You have never let me down. You have never left me. You have always come through. You’ve come through on one thing after the other. When you’re tempted to fear, stop. Lift your mind off of all that stuff. Lift it onto who is for you. Now the enemy is a serpent. Serpent is poisonous.
